Chapter 700: Chapter 552 Terrifying Improvement_1
“Since Daoist friend has declined,”
“it seems I am not blessed enough to enjoy this item.”
“Originally, I had hoped to fulfill my wish and bring back all four of these cultivators’ Golden Elixirs.”
“Unfortunately, as the saying goes, ‘Man proposes, God disposes.’ Since Daoist friend does not wish to accept this storage bag, I have no choice but to return these cultivators’ Golden Elixirs the way they came.”
“To slay a Golden Elixir Master is an ordeal unimaginable to most.”
“It’s not just the peril faced during the slaying of a Golden Elixir Master, but also the risk of being targeted by the God Locking Sect’s experts.”
“The price both of you Daoist friends must have paid for these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs must be immensely high.”
“Moreover, such Golden Elixirs are exceedingly precious in the outside world, rarely seen by ordinary cultivators.”
“I assume that even if you were to give these Golden Elixirs to the Sect, they would offer a generous reward.”
“All things considered, the value of these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs is indeed beyond imagination.”
“If you two Daoist friends truly do not wish to take this storage bag, I would be ashamed to pocket these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs.”
“Please take these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs back.”
He Song was well aware of the purpose behind Meng Guan and Wei Fan bringing these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs here.
Therefore, he also knew
that the two of them would definitely not easily accept the resources he had offered.
Although, in He Song’s eyes, these resources didn’t amount to much.
Even, if compared to the value of those four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs,
the resources He Song intended to give away were far less valuable.
The total value of the resources He Song was prepared to offer was, at most, worth two to three cultivators’ Golden Elixirs.
Yet, the Golden Elixirs he had received amounted to four in total.
This gap was nearly half of what he had offered.
Such a disparity was beyond He Song’s current ability to compensate for.
After all, he still needed to keep enough resources for himself to buy various materials in the future, which he could then use to earn more spirit stones.
Only with sufficient starting capital would he be able to continuously earn a large number of spirit stones with his own skills, rapidly enriching his wealth.
Therefore, after keeping enough resources for himself,
those were all the resources He Song could offer.
As for the difference in value, He Song planned to repay it over time with Golden Elixir Talismans and Golden Elixir Spiritual Elixirs.
After all, no one knows how long the great battle between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect will last.
The number of Golden Elixir Talismans and Golden Elixir Spiritual Elixirs he would send to Meng Guan and Wei Fan in the future should be substantial.
If this went on for a long time, the difference would naturally be smoothed over as time passed.
And this was exactly what He Song had originally envisioned.
However, now,
Meng Guan and Wei Fan did not wish to accept the resources he was offering.
This forced He Song to adopt a strategy of retreat as advance, compelling Meng Guan and Wei Fan to take the resources he offered.
Even though He Song understood that Meng Guan and Wei Fan were possibly intending to repay the kindness he had shown them,
gratitude was one thing,
but the cultivators’ Golden Elixirs that had landed in He Song’s hands were another matter entirely.
Such treasures are truly rare in the outer world.
Since Meng Guan and Wei Fan possessed them, it was natural for He Song to offer other treasures in exchange, to everyone’s satisfaction.
Otherwise, if he simply took the four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs directly, he would undoubtedly owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
The value of the four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs was simply too terrifying.
He Song had no choice but to offer resources in an attempt to lessen the weight of this debt of gratitude.
Debts of gratitude are difficult to repay.
He Song certainly did not want to suddenly find himself involved in some serious matter in the future.
If that were to happen, then the situation would not be something that the mere storage bag in front of Meng Guan and Wei Fan could settle.
As for the matter of Meng Guan and Wei Fan wishing to repay He Song’s kindness,
the fact that they came here and brought these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs was already a massive favor.
After all, both of them had been on the battlefield between two great Nascent Soul Upper Sects before this.
If they did not offer them, He Song would probably have to venture onto the battlefield himself to lay his hands on these four cultivators’ Golden Elixirs.
Moreover, if He Song did actually go to the battlefield and to the front lines of the Sun Faction,
it was uncertain whether he would be able to leave safely.
An unfamiliar Golden Elixir with close ties to his own sect’s Golden Elixir Elders suddenly appears at Sun Faction’s front lines.
Even if He Song is now the commander of Sun Faction’s front line, he might not resist the temptation to retain the other party, letting him contribute to the Sun Faction’s cause, right?
After all, both of your close friends are serving the Sun Faction.
If you were to join as well, wouldn’t that make Sun Faction’s power even stronger?
In such a case, He Song might well be kept within the Sun Faction, becoming involved in the current war with the God Locking Sect.
It was also due to such concerns
that He Song had originally decided to open his own Golden Elixir Cave Mansion in Biyue Prefecture.
He had chosen not to step foot into Sun Faction’s heartland in the slightest.
Over the years, He Song had never set foot in the heartland of the Sun Faction, fearing he would be drafted by the people there.
And now, Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s departure from the battlefield to deliver the cultivators’ Golden Elixirs to He Song
